What is an RSG file?

RSG files for Cricket 07 contain the fixtures. They control the teams participating, the locations, the time, the date and possibly the overs (match length).

How to edit an RSG file?

They can be easily edited by the Notepad.

A simple understanding of an RSG file.

Every RSG has a particular set of itself and that cannot be changed. Changing it will cause the game to crash. So, there is a big limitation in editing the RSGs. Let us see how the teams and stadiums (locations) can be edited/added/deleted.

Pool games are added in the <pool> tags followed by the number of games and the pool number (ID).

For example, this tag represents that this is the first round and the pool has 6 matches. The IDs begin from 0 and so the first pool has the ID 0, second has the ID 1 and so on.

Quote:

<pool games=”6″ id=”0″>
</pool>

Similarly, if its a round robin stage, the tags used are <round>. <round> tags are useful in leagues have format like the IPL.

How the games inside the <pool> and <round> tags are?

They are in the tags <game>.

Consider this example. This states that it is the first match, being played at the first location, between the first and the second team on 26th October, 2010 and is a day match.

The maximum we can do by editing an RSG is to edit the teams, stadiums, time and date.

Teams and stadiums can be edited through editing the contents of the <teams> and <locations> tags respectively and the time can be edited by change the “Night” boolean value. Date can be edited by editing the “Day”, “Month” and the “Year” value in numerics.

I know that it is very difficult to understand editing RSGs at one go, but trying it out again and again would make one understand it quickly. The possibilities of discovering new things from RSGs are endless.
